works better than Olay
better than Palmolive
better than Fa (of course)
and better than generic brands too.

AND i've found that this Unscented version is actually more moisturizing than the version for 'dry skin' -- it's soooo good i use it everywhere -- and my hubs and i use it to shave too -- it's that bloody good!!

If you're looking for scented and you're willing to sacrifice the moisturizing value, then i'd suggest the scented Dove Bodywashes, or Olay.

i've tried expensive stuff, herbal stuff.. and this you can get in the drugstore and it's quite inexpensive. look out for the sales! here in Canada.. it's about $6.99 at Shoppers ($4.99 sale price), but at Dominion it's $4.99 regular price!

In the summer I use things from the Body Shop or Fruits & Passion. My skin is dry in the winter months, I like Dove All Day Moisturizing Body Deep Moisture for Dry Skin. I just bought some Olay Complete Body Wash for Extra Dry Skin with Shea Butter. Both are equally good.

I might have to try the dove shower gel judging from this thread
I used dove soap bars for years, my whole family did and they were just always in the shower, I never really questioned it, but my boyfriend kept saying he didnt want to wash or shave with soap as it dries his skin out something ticked in my head, and I've definately seen an improvement since switching to shower gels! Though I still have to moisturise afterwards, and I drink water like a fish. Bad genes I guess
